Analysis of Heart Rate Variability in Chinese PLA Navy Global Visiting Task Group

Objective： To analyze the heart rate variability in Chinese PLA navy global visiting task group. Methods：We analyzed the heart rate variability in Holter in 77 men and 4 women for 5-15 days before voyage, and 65-75 and 115-125 days after voyage, and 29 men and 3 women for 5-15 days after having finished voyage. Results：NN50 and VLF were lower in 77 men and 4 women for 65-75 days after voyage than that was 5-15 days before voyage （P＆lt;0.01）. SDANN was lower in 77 men and 4 women for 115-125 days after voyage than that was 65-75 days after voyage （P＆lt;0.01）. SDNN, SDANN, SDNN index, RMSSD, NN50, PNN50,Triangular index, VLF, HLF, VAI and VLI were lower in 77 men and 4 women for 65-75 days after voyage than that was 5-15 days before voyage （P＆lt;0.01）.Conclusion： These findings suggest that voyage may reduce heart rate variability for a long time.
